Stevo6899 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Just woke up () so everything is melted by now...but judging by some leftover sleet pellets on elevated surfaces and the trees all dripping as if the were iced over before, we probably ran the gamut or precip types last night sick of seeing the brown grass like me?

hm8 Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 sick of seeing the brown grass like me? I was before, but I think I've just gone into acceptance now...the final stage of grief... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
turtlehurricane Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Getting some decent snow and ice pellets, 37.7 °F on top of the met building. Must be very cold just above the BL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishforsnow Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Haha. Kids need at least one snow day a winter! What better day to have off, then leap day! Good luck up there! Is the University open today?! MTU? They very rarely close. They wouldn't even close if there was a Nuclear war. Same for where I work. Finlandia University here in Hancock did close at noon and I think NMU has been closed all day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Geos Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Starting to cloud up here. 56° is probably the high for today. Wind is crazy out there! MTU? They very rarely close. They wouldn't even close if there was a Nuclear war. Same for where I work. Finlandia University here in Hancock did close at noon and I think NMU has been closed all day. Yeah MTU. lol. I had a snow day at UWisc. for 2" of snow one time! Storm was supposed to be much worse. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted February 29, 2012 Share Posted February 29, 2012 Snowing pretty good out there, just a light dusting though since it's above freezing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

turtlehurricane Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Went below freezing, most surfaces are covered, including some roads. This is some of the most rimed snow I've ever seen. It's falling at the speed of rain since it's so heavy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
on_wx Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Freezing rain damaged a hydro transmission line tower somewhere around here thus causing a blackout across parts of southern Ontario. The city basically shut down this afternoon with offices and shops closing. Some parts of the city are still in the dark and my lights are periodically flickering after being out for two hours. Also interesting to see thunderstorms going up over southwestern Ontario. Hoping to get my first crack of thunder tonight Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DAFF Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Thunderstorms and hail here at home. Just the other side of the lake (Erie) 60 home 37deg..... When was the last time hail was reported in these parts in Feb??? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
snowstormcanuck Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 As the primary low continues to weaken across MI WAA has completely been shut off and we're locked in an ENE flow. That's allowed temps to drop back to around freezing. It'll be interesting the next couple of hours as some precip approaches from the west to see if we get an elevated icing. RUC actually shows a transition back to snow around dawn tomorrow as the ull moves overhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

on_wx Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 We're about to get hit by more rain... I only shoveled the sidewalk after this mornings snow thinking the 3/4" would melt, and it didn't It's been 31-32F here all day. The road is a sheet of ice after that downpour of rain -- was just outside sliding around. The fzra was supposed to be a 4-6 window this morning, but we escaped the worst of it but still felt the power outages. Now it's hit full blown more than 24 hours after the warning went up. EC hasn't canceled the warning yet...good on them. This is cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

snowstormcanuck Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 Ended up with 1/2 an inch here this morning. At the very least, avoided a March snowfall shutout. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wishforsnow Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 I would estimate by the depth of the moguls the road grader left at the end of the drives here it snowed around 8 inches of snow. I lived here long enough and am pretty good at estimating by using this. That east wind was really brutal. Good thing I came home from work a little earlier, because it got worse after I came home. Had to utilize the 4x4 due to the plows couldn't keep up with plowing the snow off the main highway. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RogueWaves Posted March 1, 2012 Share Posted March 1, 2012 That map will need a lot of purples added as its olny for through 7 am. Yep, helluva nice storm for N. Wisconsin! Amazing what a difference 3* latitude can make around this part of the world. This winter, I've really missed my days living up around the 45th parallel. Houghton Lake reporting 23" on the ground this morn with next storm targeting N. Mich again. May be time for a last-minute road trip to catch the Grand Finale' of winter in Mich..
